"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic and we’ll change the world." Jack Layton
A great quote from a Canadian politician who beleived we all have the power to make a difference.
Click the link to Sky Watch Friday to see what bloggers from all over the world have found in their sky to share this week. Updated to confirm the bird is a Cormorant or yes in deed a shag on a rock.
Adding a link to our post on the Tattered Angels site with lots of tutorials about colour and paint techniques. Another favorite company is Ruby Rock-It by a great little Aussie company Fynmark.
They will have a design team call in the USA shortly and well worth having a look at, there is a fair bit of me in both their galleries. One of my favorite design teams is the gang at Helmar Adhesives, lots of fun and creative ideas on what you can do with glue. This is my contribution to their sketch challenge for September.

I think this is going to be the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on. I really admire your photography skills and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.

Well you sure made a difference with this shot!.... what a stunner, thank you for sharing your view (and views)...:)
Love the soft lighting in this!
I love the delicate colours, the path streaming from the sun, and that cormorant on the rock!!
Beautiful photo, and the words are nice. But it's going to take more than hope to change the world, it's going to take action, at all levels.
Is that a shag? I saw many on the Gold Coast.
Beautiful.
I agree and love the quotes. Nothing could be wrong when we give love and hope for the best. ^_^ Happy Friday!
